According to a recent survey, University of California students now spend 40 percent more on textbooks than they did six years ago. We argue that colleges and universities may be able to significantly reduce these costs by creating a coalition for the acquisition and distribution of electronic textbooks. Can the lessons learned from open source software development also be applied to creative commons content development? Also, how might the university technical and digital library communities collaborate on creative commons learning content and open source software projects?
